hahaha, observant!
I would say the Civil Rights Movement solved a great problem. Black Americans were denied from practically all schools before that.
When you cross reference amount of black americans in prison, with black americans with college degrees, the story of disproportional disenfranchisement drops to levels consistent with other color-based populations in the country. This would lead me to saying the Civil Rights Movement was one of the best things.
School, credit and housing was not extended to black americans before any of that, and it is primarily high school dropouts in the gangs and prisons.
The "bottom-tier schools" often do make some ethnic classes mandatory, and I have no idea how many people per capita major in them, but this is no different from the liberal arts degree that people in privileged classes take, just for the hell of it.
